Hello and welcome to another episode of KHM Today! You may be having double vision. Yes, there are two episodes this week, but the LIVE, was interrupted so you missed some great content. Be sure to watch this video for maximum learning. 

Carolyn is back from sailing to talk to one of our very own agents, Jana Jackson. She is legally blind and here to talk about how she navigates the travel world.

Next up we have some holiday cheer. There are thousands of tours you can book with Viator for you or your clients that can spread joy during this winter season. No matter what you celebrate, there is a tour that you will enjoy.

Gone phishing! We are joined by one of KHM Travel Groups’ tech experts to talk about this serious threat that you need to be aware of to keep yourself safe.

Even our tech experts have issues, so we lost Jen there in the end, but we hope you learned something new today. See you next week!

Hello and welcome to an important episode filled with what you need to know to help you and your travel clients.

Last year we asked our guests what they were thankful for and created a grateful garland. This year, in the spirit of gratitude we are asking you, our viewers, to submit what you are grateful for using our form on KHMToday.com. Choose option “Keyword: Gratitude” to be entered into a drawing for a prize that will be announced on November 30th so submit your answers by November 28th! Some answers may be shared live so please let us know if you want your name included or if you do not want your answer shared.

First up we have Simone R. Davis, the Director of REAL ID at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). She is here to talk about the upcoming deadline in May 2023 for the Real ID. It is important that you start letting your clients know so they are prepared for future travel. See dhs.gov/realid for everything you need to know.

Our very own Wanda Thomas from the Education team is back to talk about how you can utilize Facebook to target new clients that are specific to your niche. We apologize that the website was spelled wrong on screen. The correct website to visit for more information is Facebook.com/business/help

A familiar face to the show is back, David Pritchard, Health and Wellness Director for Apple Leisure Group. He is here to talk about how we can combat the upcoming “eating season.” Were we eating cookies here at the home office while he was talking? Maybe. But like he said, everything in moderation!

Welcome to a spooktacular episode of KHM Today. You may have to worry about the Monday blues, but not the Wednesday blues because we are LIVE every week! 

Ashley Newton, our Halloween extraordinaire, filled in for Carolyn while she was out on her first river cruise. Never fear though, she joins us for a quick chat filled with fun and a little bit of learning. 

In the spirit of Halloween, we cover some history in one minute!

One of the hardest parts of starting your own travel business is finding travel clients. Ashley Clark-Julvesan, a KHM Travel Group Agent, and Matt Wahlgren with the Education team, share what has worked for them. 

Can you think of anything more fun than a themed cruise? We can’t. Matt stays with us to talk about the difference between a true themed cruise and just themed nights while cruising. He also shares three popular examples that travel agents can make commission on! 

It wouldn’t be a true Halloween show if we didn’t end it with some delicious treats and a trick to make a bat out of a napkin. 
1. Shred cheeses – mozzarella and sharp cheddar 
2. Prepare dough – pinching the seams and flattening (flip over and repeat)
3. Prepare cooking sheet with non-stick spray 
4. Use cookie cutters to cut shapes – two for pepperoni people and don’t forget optional heart cut out. 
5. Fully prepare pepperoni people by stuffing with mozzarella and pepperoni and using a fork to seal the sides
6. Take shapes and fully stuffed pepperoni pocket and bake for recommended temperature for 5 minutes. Ghosts and pumpkins should not be topped
7. While they are cooking, melt butter (I did 3tbs and had plenty left over) 
8. Add fresh minced garlic (I did 6 small cloves) 
9. Add herbs and spices (I did Italian herb blend and basil) 
10. Remove pan from oven and add garlic butter and cheese to the cut outs (mozzarella for ghosts and cheddar for pumpkins) 
11. Cook for 4 minutes then remove ghosts and pumpkins. 
12. Give pepperoni person another 2 minutes. 
13. Optional – add eyes and blood drops using hot sauce or marina sauce 
14. Optional – make bones out of left over dough – DO NOT roll or treat like cookie dough, it gets weird. 

We hope you had a fang-tastic time and didn’t find our jokes to be too candy-corny! Join us next week for an important episode to discuss what you need to know about the upcoming deadline for the Real ID! See you next week!
